I’m going on my first staycation this weekend. Well, no, not really. I suppose I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying right here in Denver, hanging out with my puppy, and doing some things around town. The two of us kicked it off this past weekend by taking a walk through Cherry Creek State Park and […]

The best part of my weekend was spent with a friend checking out Modern Masters at the Denver Art Museum. The exhibition, which is traveling from the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York, is the museum’s latest venture into awesomeness. How so? Well, I’m glad you asked… Lately, everything amazing that travels through town seems […]

Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York City; all week, people have been complaining about the snow and the cold. Heck, who am I kidding? If you live in Minneapolis, you’ve whined about it all winter long – and, despite knowingly living in such a frozen place, you’re justified in doing so. It’s been bitter cold. Denver doesn’t […]

Funny thing is, when my father read that, he comprehended it just fine. So well in fact that he proceeded to cut […]

Colorado’s Waterton Canyon is the start for hiking the Colorado Trail, the 486-mile-long hike from Denver to Durango. When I set out, I didn’t intend to do nearly that much. Not even close. I only wanted a quick six mile jaunt in and out. At the end of the day, though, I had done about […]

The Denver Art Museum’s Spun: Adventures in Textiles opened this weekend. I stopped in yesterday, excited to see what all the hype was about in all of the local media. I needed no more than a foot in the first gallery to understand, and be excited for what awaited me in the rest of the […]
